Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomA minor criticism but I got too many emails & messages about my stay. I nearly missed the mail with the link to our guest cards because there were so many other notifications.
The hotel is in a quiet location but very convenient for shops, restaurants & the station. Such a friendly team at the Sonnwendhof, nothing is too much trouble & a fabulous breakfast buffet too. The rooms are spacious & comfortable. We have stayed here before & we’re happy to return

SwitzerlandThe only suggestion that I have is providing a small fridge. Especially traveling with kids, one always carry around snacks that need to be stored appropriately.
We have booked this place for 2 families quite spontaniously. Our stay was a pleasant experience from A-Z. I want to highlight the friendly messages before the stay, the welcome letter on the bed and the mirror, the play room for the kids, the breakfast with smilies on the eggs and the delicious croissants and the exquisite Sauna facility. The location right at the train station is a big plus too. We felt very comfortable and home at Sonnenwendehof. Oh and that I do not forget to mention: The late check out was a real treat. Thanks for this.

SwitzerlandIt could have been a bit cheaper but at the end you pay for the quality.
Sonnwendhof is a great place for family visit to Engelberg in summer or winter. It has everything you may possibly need: hearty breakfast (many local products - cheese, jam, honey, bread, juice, etc.), indoor playroom for small children, ski room (if you come for winter holidays), sauna (ready in 15 minutes) and relaxing room, supermarket is 8 min walking distance away, some good restaurants are just around the corner. Titlis funicular is 8 min away by foot, Brunnibahn is 1.5km away and Fürenalp is 5 km. You get Engelberg tourist card, which allows you to use a bus for free and get small discount on funiculars. All ladies working at the hotel are very friendly. We could have had an earlier check in, if we needed it. Free parking is just in front of the hotel.

Location is super cool. Walking distance from Engelberg station. We had 4 bags but were able to comfortably reach by 5 mins walk. Ours was a mountain view and the view was amazing. Ladies at the reception are super awesome and guided us very well. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy Mt Titlis or Engelberg.

SwitzerlandThe bed is comfortable but the pillows are too soft.
I stayed 3 nights at Hotel Sonnwendhof (in the summer) and I had an amazing time and would definitely stay again. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, the hotel is located perfectly for walks/hikes/different gondolas up the mountains, and the hotel was very dog friendly, making it the best stay for my pup! The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice, there’s free parking outside the hotel, and my room was cleaned beautifully every day. I had a balcony that overlooked the mountains… perfect for a tea/coffee in the morning. The hotel offer dinner at their sister property, otherwise you’re surrounded by many other restaurants to choose from. I highly highly recommend staying at Hotel Sonnwendhof.. the value for money is excellent.
